Gili Air

 We've washed up on the shores of the wonderful Gili Air.

Situated off the coast of Lombok, and a whopping 3 miles in circumference, it's a tiny tropical paradise.

Cars are banned. As are motorbikes and scooters. (Though you do see some electric ones ambling round)

The main form of transport is bicycle, trotters or horse and cart.

Now I know what you're thinking. Horse and cart eh? Surely you must spend your time tiptoeing through the dollops.

Not so, my friends. Thoughtfully the islanders have attached what can only be described as "poo bags" to the rear of the horse.

Who empties them, and indeed where they're emptied remains shrouded in secrecy.

Thankfully.

There's really not much to do here, apart from relax, snorkel from the beach and sink the odd beer. (Dehydration, as you are well aware, being a potential killer)

And it suits us perfectly......
